Execution doesn't have its forum section

(jazevec) #1

So let’s discuss it here.

Execution maps are a refreshing change of pace. They are extremely big and open. There are many alternate routes and catwalks. There are very few invisible walls - Objective maps are plastered with them. It’s a delight to walljump through them. It also feels stealthy instead of the usual meat grinder. Footsteps are important. Outmaneuvering an enemy is hugely rewarding.

I wonder what’s the meta going to be. Medics are obviously very valuable. So are long range weapons and snipers. I suspect faster mercs are going to gain value, too. Kira in particular is a good balance of long range power and speed. But while Fragger is slow, he has a fantastic opportunity to for long range handgrenade kills.

Many engineer abilities are bad, though. Proxy mines can be heard from miles away and I struggle to think of good applications. Turrets are not so good - they’re noisy, and there are so many places to go.

Because Execution is unlocked at level 1, many players are very noobish. The maps are large and complex, I’m sure that must feel intimidating for them.

It’s being looked into! Hopefully we’ll have it real soon :smiley:

I think Sparks and Sawbonez are going to be the best medics. Execution maps are very open, and you don’t want to be moving through killzones just to heal or revive.

Still don’t know why new players are funneled into it outside of SD wanting to show off their new creation.

  1. They’re hoping to convert people from Counterstrike.
  2. It’s just plain simpler than most Objective maps. Kill as many enemies as you can and you win. The problem with this line of thought is that Execution maps are large, complex and easy to get lost in.

Since it’s an execution discussion…
My opinion is that this game mode, like any game mode with only 1 life, is garbage. But hey, it’s 500 free credits so it’s better than nothing i guess.

It changes the pace way to much imo, yes it is like cs but this 1 life gamemode doesnt work from what i have seen, every game has been fletcher/phoenix stack and everyone being more of a solo player than a team player, but then again if I had friends who played this then it might be a bit more fun.

I the meantime, shame on you.

FRIENDLY FIRE COULD BE SAFELY ENABLED IN EXECUTION!

This is because maps are big and open, and the mode is much less chaotic than Objective except the Dome map. You can hear all airstrikes coming, and you see teammates through walls. There are much fewer bottlenecks to spam.
